->''"'''Breaking Wind: Part 1''' is one of the worst spoof movies ever made and definitely one of the worst comedies I've seen in general too. [[ShallowParody It has nothing to say about its topic]], which it hates to the point of being dismissive. All the jokes [[VulgarHumor are below the belt]] and if they thought this was at all edgy or adult, then they should be downright ashamed of themselves. In addition, the terrible direction and acting oversell every single repetitive joke, to the point that it becomes almost unbearable. Craig Moss needs to stay away from doing anymore of these spoof movies, because he's frankly so abysmal that the art of comedy needs to file a restraining order. And really, if you want to laugh at '''Literature/{{Twilight}}''', go watch the first, second, and fifth films since they're pretty much unintentional comedies anyway. All watching this does is award the filmmakers lack of effort and encourage them further. And pray they don't make a part two. Or to put it in a way that this movie frankly deserves...

->''"So that was '''Film/MegaSharkVsGiantOctopus'''. It's got better acting, plot, and effects than '''Film/{{Transmorphers}}''', but that's not really saying much. The film still looks very cheap, the special effects have gone from [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation PS1]] to [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 PS2]] graphics, and they constantly repeat the [[StockFootage same shots]] over and over again. I swear half the movie is just shots they repeated to pad out the running time. And to be honest, it fails as a BMovie because it [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot fails to live up to its title]]. I'm sorry, but if you're going to name your movie '''Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus''', you damn well better live up to it. Because I'm nice, I will give Creator/TheAsylum a little gold star for attempting to improve, even if their movie is still shit.''

->''"Plot? What plot? It's more like a sieve. It has holes you can drive Optimus Prime through and it buckles under the huge cast of characters the film contains. And that's only the human characters; the Transformers feel more like [[HumanFocusedAdaptation co-stars in their own movie]], disappearing into the background for long stretches. The movie has endless [[{{Padding}} padding]] scenes and a ludicrous amount of comic relief characters, which means that the tone is [[MoodWhiplash all over the place]]. And considering this is meant to be a film for kids both young and old, [[Creator/MichaelBay Bay]] fills the movie with completely [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids inappropriate material]] that should have been cut from this bloated monstrosity. Not even the action scenes are good. They're too close, too incomprehensible, and too long; meaning that we soon lose interest, if we had any, because we don't know who half the bloody robots are. And before you chastise me for changing my opinion on the movie, so did the filmmakers. Both Bay and [[Creator/ShiaLaBeouf LaBeouf]] have been quoted as saying that the film was [[CreatorBacklash a disappointment]] and that it's not as good as it should have been. I don't have high hopes for the [[Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon third movie]] and if you see it in 3D, I hope you enjoy the inevitable motion-sickness from Bay's hyper-kinetic directing style. I'm Matthew Buck, beating down bad... (Film Brain looks at his '''Film/{{Transformers}}''' poster) I think I'd better take that down."''

->''"'''Film/TheHappening''' is a bizarre film. It seems to have been made by an alien, because everything is so... off. The script is full of things that people would never say or do, acted unconvincingly by [[QuestionableCasting mis-cast actors]] [[{{Narm}} delivering their worst performances ever]]. Creator/MarkWahlberg, with his soft voice, is completely humiliated, and Creator/ZooeyDeschanel [[EyeTake makes googly eyes]] throughout the whole film that make her look braindead. [[ArtisticLicense The science of the film is shoddy, but that's not surprising considering the green message of the film, which is laid on with no subtly or respect for the audience. '''"Man and Science is weak, and we should all respect the power of Nature and Love!"''' Its saving grace is being so incredibly unintentionally funny, because it's a ridiculous film approached with a po-faced seriousness, and lack of humour that is so gloriously pretentious. The film tries to make a comment on paranoia, but it just ends up becoming a farce. After this, [[Creator/MNightShyamalan M. Night]]'s descent into complete madness was sealed by his adaptation of the cartoon '''[[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar]]''' - not related to Creator/JamesCameron's [[Film/{{Avatar}} work]] obviously - into '''Film/TheLastAirbender''', which was critically panned and destroyed at the box office, putting his writer/director days to an end presently. He has since produced '''Film/{{Devil}}''', which, whilst mediocre, is certainly a step-up for a director who sums up once and for all, how the mighty can fall."''

->''"If Creator/AdamSandler had his way, every copy of '''Film/GoingOverboard''' [[CreatorBacklash would be lying at the bottom of the ocean]], and you know what? I'd be right alongside him chucking them in! It's pretty easy to peg this movie very early on in terms of how it got made and how it went wrong. It's pretty clear that he didn't have any real plan aside from a ship, some swimsuit-clad women, and [[ExcusePlot a plot that could fit on a postage stamp]]. As a result, this movie is [[LeftTheCameraRunning clearly and painfully improvised]], with actors desperately pulling funny faces to try and earn laughs and [[{{Padding}} pad out the running time]], and no-one telling them that their ideas are terrible. [[TheScrappy Everyone is super annoying as a result]], and Adam Sandler comes off particularly badly. [[DesignatedHero He's supposed to be the underdog]], but the impression is that of [[SmallNameBigEgo someone delusional about their abilities]]. There is nothing more brutal than unfunny comedy, and there is no redeeming value in any of it. '''Not a single thing'''!

->''"'''Film/StrangeWilderness''' is basically a celebration of stupid, ignorant people who are too lazy to even make an effort but still feel a sense of entitlement regardless. What little characterization there is, especially the two leads, is [[DesignatedHero annoying and obnoxious]]. [[QuestionableCasting And that's a shame because this is an actually fantastic cast but they're all terrible here.]] Even Steve Zahn [[HamAndCheese resorts to shouting and overacting when he's not coasting]], and it squanders his talent. But then again, you can't turn a sow's ear into a purse, especially when large chunks are [[LeftTheCameraRunning clearly improvised with no direction whatsoever]]. The whole thing looks and feels cheap and ugly, but somehow scenes run too long, even when the film itself barely scrapes 80 minutes. Even if it's a stoner comedy, this is poor stuff because the good ones in this subgenre, your '''Film/{{Harold and Kumar}}s''' and '''[[Creator/CheechAndChong Cheeches and Chongs]]''' are genuinely funny and don't require you to be baked to find them so. There's always that old trap of you're enjoying each other's companies so much that it doesn't rub off of the audience, and Justin Long hits that in his sort of defense of the film: '''"The first few times I saw it, I loved it. And I don't often see movies that I've done multiple times, but I kept going. [...] And then I saw it once when I wasn't stoned and I was like, woah. This is a mess! This doesn't make a shred of sense! [...] But stoned it's the funniest, and I think I have so much love for it because it's the most fun I've ever had shooting."''' So does it deserve its 0%? Ehhh, it's really, really bad, but [[DamnedByFaintPraise it's not quite the same level of agonizingly awful]] as, say, '''Film/FatSlags''' or '''Film/TheMasterOfDisguise'''. That doesn't mean I recommend the trek by any means."''

There's always that old trap of you're enjoying each other's companies so much that it doesn't rub off of the audience, and Justin Long hits that in his sort of defense of the film: '''"The first few times I saw it, I loved it. And I don't often see movies that I've done multiple times, but I kept going. [...] And then I saw it once when I wasn't stoned and I was like, woah. This is a mess! This doesn't make a shred of sense! [...] But stoned it's the funniest, and I think I have so much love for it because it's the most fun I've ever had shooting."''' So does it deserve its 0%? Ehhh, it's really, really bad, but [[DamnedByFaintPraise it's not quite the same level of agonizingly awful]] as, say, '''Film/FatSlags''' or '''Film/TheMasterOfDisguise'''. That doesn't mean I recommend the trek by any means."''

How about the naked cynicism of setting your movie in Hawaii for no reason other than a [[VacationDearBoy paid holiday]], or the sheer idiocy of the plot, that the title itself seems like a taunt to our [[WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief suspension of disbelief]]?

->''"'''Film/JustGoWithIt''' is just horrible in almost every way, which makes it hard to know where to start. How about another insufferable, smug, self-centered "performance" from Creator/AdamSandler, rivaled only by [[TheScrappy the infuriating Nick Swardson]] and those [[CreepyChild creepy pod-people children]]? How about the naked cynicism of setting your movie in Hawaii for no reason other than a [[VacationDearBoy paid holiday]], or the sheer [[IdiotPlot idiocy of the plot]], that the title itself seems like a taunt to our [[WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief suspension of disbelief]]? Oh no, let's lay it right down on the feet of director Creator/DennisDugan, whose work is especially awful here. He has no flair for the material, no connection, nothing. For a guy working in directing comedy for two decades, I don't understand how he can edit a movie this witless and overlong. This doesn't need to be just under two hours. The only thing I liked was Creator/JenniferAniston who is so [[WomenAreWiser down-to-earth]] that it's the only believable character; that she doesn't so much anchor the proceedings, but seem to be in a completely different universe entirely. This is a terrible sitcom episode stretched into feature film purgatory and I found close to utterly unbearable. Listen, I don't mind if you had fun making a movie with your friends together, but can you at least make it enjoyable for us lowly peasants who had to watch your putrid end results?"''

->''"You can see the seeds of '''Film/TheLoveGuru''' in the '''Film/AustinPowers''' sequels that increasingly relied on crude humor and penis jokes, but this takes it to a whole new level. I hate to place all the blame on Creator/MikeMyers, but when he's the main creative force and is in virtually every scene, it's hard not to. He's downright insufferable in this movie, a giggling nutcase who is so desperate, it makes you wonder if Myers was ever really funny. He's so the center of attention here, that he forgets to give many of his supporting players any material of their own, [[WhatTheHellCastingAgency despite a cast of talented actors and comedians who flail around just as badly]]. [[IdiotPlot The paper-thin plot is simply all about the gags in the movie disregarding logic, sense, or continuity]], which is the crucial context of making them funny. Compounding this is despite Myers' hiatus, many of them are recycled old material from '''Austin Powers''', including Verne Troyer himself, while you're beaten over the head with crass sex jokes over and over, just like all the other lame pieces of humor in this movie, and it makes it seem as though Myers' sense of humor stopped developing at age 10. The worst thing is, this movie sells Myers' talent short as a comedian, and it's so dispiriting because we know he can do so much better. The only real positive is that at least it's less than ninety minutes, no doubt thanks to some heavy trimming. UK comedian Omid Djalili [[AdvertisedExtra gets prominent billing]] [[DeletedRole despite having all his lines cut in the one scene he appeared in]], and given he was playing Guru Satchabigknoba, I think maybe we should all be thankful for that. All I know is that somewhere in the deepest, darkest pits of Hell, '''this''' and '''Film/TheMasterOfDisguise''' are playing as the most punishing double feature ever made, and if you don't want to take your memory of Mike Myers, stay as away from this as humanly possible!"''

You didn't think about the weight of including a rape scene. You just used it as a cheap shock tactic, and that's deplorable.
